CLUSTER DESKTOP-AGENTS-LOCAL · 32 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-25
Local AI model workbenches
This cluster comprises desktop applications for running, testing, and tuning local AI models, often with agent execution and user-selected model providers. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, with only four dated entries before the index started, so the cluster predates the index or its members are largely undated. On traction, dsh-desktop leads with 6,823 stars, followed by vibe-holding at 201 and laobos-agent-studio at 12.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 12 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
